You’ll also play a key role in standardising best practices across similar equipment to elevate performance across the site. In this role, you’ll work closely with a team of five Technology Owners and report directly to the Continuous Improvement Manager. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally with teams in Maintenance, Operations, Environmental, Health & Safety, and QFS, and be based full-time at our Wrexham Manufacturing Plant.

• Data-Driven Improvement – Analyse equipment loss data to identify and prioritise improvement initiatives.
• Root Cause Analysis – Lead root cause investigations using Continuous Improvement (CI) tools and implement sustainable countermeasures.
• Cost Optimisation – Drive cost-saving projects and efficiency improvements.
• Capability Building – Develop and deliver equipment-specific training, standards, and procedures to build operational capability.
• Autonomous Maintenance Support – Support the site’s Autonomous Maintenance (AM) journey by coaching operators and contributing to AM projects.
• Cross-Functional Training – Train support functions on equipment functionality and assist in technical investigations.
• Maintenance Enhancement – Collaborate with Reliability Engineers to enhance Routine Maintenance (RM) processes.
• Opportunity Pipeline – Facilitate loss identification workshops to maintain a robust pipeline of improvement opportunities.
